Hey folks, new member here. I've got something I've been trying to figure out for a while now, and could some new perspective on (hopefully some female perspective).
Ok, here is the situation...
I have come to be pretty close friends with a girl I work with. We often hang out after work and just talk for hours at a time, and not once do I feel that I have to force the conversation, which is pretty significant for me. She is very friendly with everyone, but she definitely acts differently toward me. She's more playful, does the whole hitting/shoving routine, teases me, etc. Finds silly reasons to take my picture.
Now I broached the subject of dating, and she seemed really nervous about it, so I told her to forget about it and we'd just be friends. I left it at that, but recently, it feels like anyway, she may have changed her mind. I actually got a new job a month ago, so we don't see each other every day anymore. But we do text daily, and have hung out a few times since then. Yesterday we were texting and kind of out of nowhere she asks if I have a girlfriend. I told her no, and she made it a point to tell me she was also single. I ran into her in town the next day, and was greeted by a big hug, and she told me we need to hang out more.
Now, I'll be the first to admit, I'm not the world's smoothest guy with women. And I haven't dated in 5 years (ended a long relationship 4 months ago). I really like this girl, but there's a couple things that are keeping me from pursuing it. Mainly that I don't have many close friends, and I'd hate to lose one because I'm reading too much into this. I also find it hard to believe she could really be interested in dating. She's gorgeous, gets hit on all the time. And I'm, well, not. lol.
